Carey Shea | 1/31/2014

Karschtl | 1/21/2014

" the physiology of different personalities proves the uniqueness of men "

Margy Sala | 4/20/2013

" I have read this book twice already but I just decided to read all the Lincolm Rhyme's books in order. So here I go again :P You can never go wrong with Deaver. His books are the masterpieces. "

David | 4/11/2013

" This was bloody marvelous, and yet not quite perfect, if you see what I mean. I think perhaps I was just a little uncomfortable with a quadriplegic hero. Then again, I am a bit of a hypochondriac. "

Janet | 2/28/2013

" I've liked all of Deaver's Lincoln Rhyme novels "

Hrynkiw | 9/7/2012

" Good read. A little gory, but with interesting characters. I will be reading more from the series. "

Kara | 4/15/2012

" A pretty good mystery, but if I had to give it a letter grade,it would be "I," for implausible. Especially the ending. "

Jim Mcvean | 4/13/2012

" No point in reviewing all his books ...read most of the rhymes series and a few of the standalone books...they don't disappoint "

Lou Knights | 9/26/2011

" Loved the film, loved the book even more! If you like thrillers, this is the book for you! "

Pulpbomb | 7/10/2011

" Thankfully it'd been a long time since I saw the movie with Denzel & Angelina so I didn't remember who was the killer. Very suspenseful page-turner. "

Darin | 5/22/2011

" Thought it was quite good, but a little grisly. I was able to eat and read the book at the same time, but some might find parts of it to be a difficult read, depending on squeamishness. I will keep him on my list, though, and read other Lincoln Rhyme books. "

Sarah | 5/19/2011

" This was an excellent read
"

Marti | 5/6/2011

" quadriplegic genius detective wallows in self-pity in a quite annoying and monotonous way while acting like a jack ass to the hot female cop. The movie was better.
"

Dee | 5/4/2011

" Even though I have seen the movie, I didn't not remember the ending. I had a really hard time putting this one down!
"

Polly | 5/3/2011

" I loved this book, mainly because of the truly original character, Lincoln Rhyme. I think Deaver lost him later in the series.
"

Ruth | 5/2/2011

" I enjoyed the characters. I did read the whole book. In retrospect, I would never see the movie after reading the book. The book was rather violent and graphic about murder and torture. So, that is why I thought 2 stars was a valid rating. It is just not the kind of book I enjoy.
"

Tamie | 4/27/2011

" Wow! Great book! Very fast pace, always exciting, great twists in the plot! Really enjoyed this one and will be picking up more from this author!
"

" Another superb thriller from Jeffery Deaver! Seems all his books have a surprise twist at the end. Finished this book late last night and already downloaded the next one in the series, I'm loving these books.
